CAPITAL Chips.

WASHINGTON, January 27.-The Presi-
dent will give reception this evening
in honor of Congress and the Judiciary.
The full attendance this morning OF
the committee on foreign affairs, indi-
Gated the interest taken in the fishery
onestiou. The Senate bill referred to
the committee yesterday, with unusual
mower to report at any time to the
House, was the subject of discussion,
and showed substantial unanimity in
the determination to act without haste
and only after mature deliberation.
The merits of the Senate and House bills
were compared. Belmont indicated q
preference for the House bill, but
thought there was no reason for haste,
and that that could be improved.
Race thought the Senate bill went
further than was generally supposed,
and might include more than the Senate
expected and, perhaps, as much as the
House bill. The Senate bill excluded
not only Canadian products" but
goods" Would not goods" include
any possessions, even cars and locomo-
tives?
Phelps saw none of the excitement
which had swept the Senate. The COM
mittee ought to take the wisdom of the
Senate as seen in it's measure and the
wisdom of the House as seen in the
House measure and get out of the two
and by an admixture of new matter, if
necessary, something to report which
would be reasonable, peaceful and
efficient. The Senate seemed to want q
partial suspension, the House, judg-
ing bV bills a total suSnenSiOn OF com.
nero al intercourse. The wisdom of
either course, and the practical details
for enforcing either plan, when adopted,
needed careful study. He moved that
the matter be referred to a sub-commit-
tee, to report next Tuesday. Worthing-
ton said Chicago would never go so far
as to let Canadian cars be stopped. al
though it might be willing to stop pro
ducts and goods" that were Canadian.
The matter was referred to sub-com-
mittee consisting of Belmont, Clements
and Reese, with instructions to report
1ot later than next Tuesday.

THE MEMBERS ARRIVE.

AS early as o'clock this morning
members began to arrive in the House
OF Commons so as to secure good seats.
The scenes at the opening of Parliament
to day were duller than those which
usually attend this event. Crowds about
the buildings showed little, if any, en-
thusiasm, and members were evidently
uncertain as regards the future. Lord
Randolph Churchill, when he first en-
tered the commons, tried to take the
coveted seat below the gangway which
he formerly occupied. He found,
though, that he had been forstalled by
the Right Hon. Henry Chaplin, whose
hat was on the seat. Lord Randolph
lifted the hat, examined it critically,
read Chaplin's card for full minute,
then smiled and took a back seat. 1t
is notorious that feud exists between
Lord Randolph and Chaplin.
The speech from the throne excited
little interest. The weather was damp
and foggy.
Parnellites, after the reading of the
Queens speech, held a conference and
discussed the ACCESSIBILITY of offering an
amendment to the address, in reply to
It. They adjourned without coming to
decision. .e.,,t
ury. gave notice in the Commons of
governments intention to introduce
measure for the reform of the rules of
parliamentary procedure, and said he
would ask facllitiesfor giving precedence
to the consideration of the measure, so
that 1t may be al once discussed from
day to day.

In majority of cases the orchard
is the last location to be given cultiva

is that it should receive but little care
The best results are only obtained from
the orchard when it is kept in as goot
condition as possible, not only by be
ing trimmed and the suckers removed
but liberal application of fertilizer,
made to the ground.-1roy Times.

The Only Way in Which Farmers Can
Ascertain tho Cost of Their Crops.
f farmer knew exactly the cost of
raising each kind of crop, he could de-
termin whether it would pay him bet
ter to give up some kinds altogether
and use the fields for something else.
1t is not a difficult matter to keep an
account of the cost of the seed and the
value of the labor required for any
particular crop, and knowing this, a
man can readily determine from the
yield whether any profit has been
made. If this account shows a loss,
he will be prompted to examine critic
ally the adoption of his land to his
crop, his mode of tillage, the quality
and condition of his seed, whether the
fertility of his soil is too much exhaus-
ted, etc. The farmer who keeps such
an account will be likely to make a
careful study of every thing relating
to the matter, when he would give it
no consideration if he kept no account
The premiums offered at fairs stimulate
the competitors to do their best in pro-
duction, and the examination of the
exhibits stimulates all those who at
tend. tits thus that fairs have an inn
proving effect upon farm products.
The managers of fairs see the necessity
of requiring careful account of the
cost of the product exhibited. This
forms mode of comparison for other
farmers. They find that the larger the
crop the less it costs per bushel or per
hundred, and the heavier the animal at
a given age, the less it costs per hun
dred pounds. Every farmer who keeps
an account Of his crops and the cost Of
| growing his animals is compelled to
see this. 1t is the small crops and the
slow growing animals that cost the
most.
Keeping strict account of every thing
also shows farmers that their farms
really pay better than they have given
them credit for. They seldom credi,
the farm with what is consumed in the
family This is, of course, large
item. What is consumed in the family
is as valuable as like amount sold.
When the farmer gives proper credit
for home consumption, he will be bet.

MONEY IN TURKEYS,
How to Get Fair start in Raising The,
Profitable Birds.

How to Get Fair Start in Raising These
Profitable Birds.
Whether it is better to buy pair or
trio of turkeys, or a sitting of eggs, to
begin with, depends upon cireum-
stances; and chief among the circum-
stances is the amount of money you
can put into the turkey business. II
you have the money to put into good
stock, by all means buy pair or trio
of thoroughbred turkeys; if not, then
buy a sitting of eggs from some relia-
BILE breeder. Or you can make a good
start by buying some common turkey
hens, which you can get at market
prices, and a thoroughbred gobbler.
But in deciding how much you can
afford to spend to begin with, you
should take more than one thing into
consideration. The first cost of a trio
of thoroughbred turkeys may seem
large to you. but bear in mind that the
returns in the fall will be larger than
they would if you commenced with
common turkeys, or with only sitting
of eggs. From trio of breeding stock
/ you ought to be able to raise at least
twenty-five turkeys. and good many
of these can probably be sold for con-
siderably above market prices-es-
pecially if you are fortunate enough to
get the first thoroughbred turkeys in
/ your vicinity Farmers are beginning
to find that there is money in turkeys.

How Seven Enterprising Newspaper Men
Reported n Secret Meeting.
remember one occasion, more than
twenty years ago, when the represent
atives of several papers were directed
to learn all they could about a secret
caucus. Each man was on his mettle,
but all were kept at safe distance from
the room in which the noted politicians
met. When the meeting was called to
order the reporters were in despair,
because they were under guard, as it
were, in room separated from the as
sembly hall by a wide corridor, or so
situated that they could see nothing and
hear nothing. But it so happened that
along that side of the hall were num-
Der of low windows. The heavy ground
glass prevented those who used the cor
ridor from seeing what was going on
within, but admitted the light.
As the seven or eight newspaper men
were sitting disconsolate, looking across
to the caucus room, the shadow of a
man appeared on the glass of the almost
continuous window extending along the
side. Some one had mounted the chair
TO address the chairman of the meeting,
and the boys recognized him by his
gestures. In the midst of what appeared
10 be rather excited speech he was
nulled down from behind, and another
man a little further to the front popped
M The new speaker was recognized

aud when the caucus ended they had
= pretty fair record of the persons who
had spoken. Knowing how the speakers
stood on the question before the meet
inc. thew made up from their shadow
rantomine certain representations as
to what was said, on which they inter-
viewed every man whose shadow they
had seen ON the ground glass of the
windows.
Going to one man, reporter would

hands. doesn't heP" and then he would
go through the gestures characteristic
of MIR. Baker when he was much excited,
accompanying them with certain
declarations of his own. This would

vonld be made. To another man
another reporter would say that his re-
marks had been criticised by some one
who mimicked his gestures and who gave
out the impression that the old gentle
man had made goose of himself, and
the reporter would indulge in some ex-
travagant gestures characteristic of the
sneaker. This would be followed by
an indignant denial and by hasty
statement of what he did say. Work
ing in this way the seven men before
midnight had by comparing notes and
observations written out pretty fan
